If I were going to add YET MORE furymaking things about that scene, it's the fact that no one seems to recognize reproductive technology or adoption are a thing. >_> I mean, jeez, if they want kids, they can have kids! There are ways! (Not feeling fit to be parents is a whole other issue, and frankly more appropriate for both of them, but it was framed more as NO BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN EVAH.)
... that said, there are some other options for what they did to Natasha. They might have done an endometrial ablation on her, for example, in addition to a tubal ligation -- that is, burned off the uterine lining. (I know about the existence of this as a thing because it was suggested to me as a solution for my particular problem -- I have recurring issues with heavy bleeding, and if we weren't able to control it hormonally, which so far we have been, endometrial ablation was the next suggested step, being less invasive and less likely to cause menopause than a total hysterectomy. Ectopic pregnancies are still a risk, however.)
I guess it's not out of the question that she might have actually had a hysterectomy, or even had EVERYTHING removed. I'm not actually sure if the health issues would be that bad? Hysterectomy is a thing that women have done, after all -- and it's not like the Red Room is that concerned about the long-term health of their graduates. (Though it seems like a ridiculously huge step when a much simpler tubal ligation would do it.)
